This isn't a bug - What happens is, when apps need to install schema's gconf needs to be reloaded to make them available in the current session. Every other distro does this, and now Gentoo does as well. If you are seeing no process killed, it simply means that gconf isn't running.
So if it is not the bug may be need to add some silence and remove "[!!]" from it. I think it something obscure user.
I concur; the error message should be suppressed since it's not an error. Or couldn't the process used for reloading the schemas first check if it's even running before trying to kill it?
